Hadith of the Armies (junud) of aql and jahl

Practical Strategies for Enhancing ‘Aql

To mitigate the influence of ‘jahl’, Shia teachings provide practical strategies for promoting ‘aql. Engaging in community discussions, attending religious lectures, and participating in study groups create fertile ground for intellectual and spiritual growth. These communal interactions foster an environment where ideas are exchanged, perspectives broadened, and wisdom shared.

Moreover, the act of questioning is encouraged. By challenging assumptions and seeking evidence, individuals can activate the armies of ‘aql within them. This method not only solidifies personal understanding but also cultivates an environment where ignorance is systematically dismantled.
